Hey A good screen saver is a must have. It shows passers by how cool your computer is when you are away. My favourite type of screen savers are clock screen savers. Simply because they are elegant, simple and they don’t suck up your computers CPU like it is going out of fashion. Anyway, this post is going to be a collection of 6 well designed clock screen savers which you can grace your computer with. These screen savers are listed in no particular order. Fliqlo Based on an old style flip clock, the digits will slowly flip over as time slowly passes.

Unfortunately there is no options to change any of the colours of the digits. This software is free. You can download it, click on the left most floppy disk to get the download link. Fractal Clock When I first came across this screen saver, I thought it was awesome. The fractal patterns moving across the screen excited the little child within me. I then realized that the white arms in the centre of the screen told the time. It does wonders reading.
Anyway, this software is free. The link goes to Apple’s download site since it is simpler to download than the developers. PolarClock Out of all of the screen savers in this post, PolarClock is my favourite. Concentric colour circles move around the screen. The different lengths each have a different time values.
This software is free. You can download it.
As well as this you can also have an accompanying widget to brighten up your dashboard. World Clock Probably the best use of words for a screen saver. As seconds pass different words are highlighted representing the time.
Its not very good for CRT monitors, due to some words being constantly displayed on your screen. I have previously written about this screen saver before you can find my post. This screen saver is free and you can download it. Due3 A very simple screen saver. This one displays the time in the bottom left in a funky sans-serif font. In the background a simple line moves around the screen displaying the current second. Its really simple as well as free.
DropClock I save the best to last. This massive screen saver, 100mb+. It shows Helevtica font slowly dropping into water.
Fantastic graphics. I personally haven’t been able to try this one yet.
The bandwidth cap imposed by my ISP has stopped me from downloading large files. From the videos this screen saver does look awesome. It does cost $15 and can be download.

I posted this to two other forums nobody helping just reading post. Now I'm trying this forum for help. This is how my post is. I couldn't find an answer to my problem. But I found an answer close to mine said (10.4.4 broke Quartz Extreme) (On Apple Support). There system profiler says Quartz not supported.
I checked mine says the same thing now. The answer was to delete two files from system library (Extension.kextcache and Extension.mkext) I did that and restarted worked fine, turn computer back on today back to the same problem. I could use some HELP. This is my problem. I don't remember when this started but it's been months. It's my screen savers I have regular savers and Quartz savers and Quartz saver I made when I got Tiger. Went to change saver one day and all my Quartz savers were missing some savers that were not Quartz and the screen saver called my computer name has a blue file folder.
I went thought the savers found some that made System Preference crash though them out still did not help, checked saver folder all there. I restarted computer some times were there, some times not might have to restart few more times to work. When I turn computer on next day some times would be all back some times not. Have had regular screen saver missing but when screen saver kicked in after some time it work but not in list. Checked folder again the saver were missing from folder too this time.
I don't want to have to restart my computer each time I want to use those savers. Some time have to keep started over and over again in a roll to get to work don't think thats very good for my computer. I also did repair permission that didn't help.
Don't know what to try next. Can anybody help.
